Zero Punctuation - Where?

[A.A.K]

I'm not sure if this is in the right forum...topic thing...
and I'm sort of perplexed. I sit here (in Australia), Thursday afternoon...and no zero punctuation.

I know Zero Punctuation is released every Wednesday...but for the last few years, your Wednesday was my Thursday. What's happened?
I pay no attention to the world around me so if there's some brand new time zone or Australia just jumped an extra 10 hours let me know, but...There's no ZP

I imagine he took the week off for Christmas.

No filler - no screw you guys I'm getting drunk, no warning....

 

[A.A.K]

Oh yea I forgot about christmas
hmm....last few years though there was still a short little video or something put up.

 

[TheDarkKing]

Yeah I was wondering that too... Considering the fact he didn't put up a "best of 2011" video or something.

 

[Scarim Coral]

While there usually a video of some sort (like his dialogue mash up or some kind of a reward) during Christmas but it look like there isn't any this year.
I assume even Yatzee himself need to take a break every once and then since like everyone else he does got a life outside of ZP.

That'll be next weeks I reckon

OT: Yep christmas break, even a person with such an easy job as Yahtzee's should get atleast one week off work a year.

People responded with such hostility to his Skyward Sword review, and it hurt his delicate feelings.

I imagine he took the week off for Christmas.

All joking aside, this was my assumption as well.

Might as well not have that really, last time he did one of those mashups or whatever it was people were SO angry X3. Getting all rude and offended that he thought he needed to give us some "previously, on ZP" video instead of just taking his time off...

People are strange.

maybe he'll do another mailbag showdown? i loved that episode.

 

[Floggo]

Fuck this, heavy drinking it is.

 

[kebab4you]

Probably took his holiday also, kinda sad he didn't have a short video like last year where he swore us off, but oh well.

I'm really very tired about web people and TV people taking the Christmas week off...just do the episode before Christmas and release it that week. You can still have your vacation, and we don't have to wait. I've been without new Mythbusters for almost a month now, and their production schedule should dictate that episodes are ready at least four weeks before they air.

Anyway, just prepare it ahead of time...is there something wrong with that? You'll notice that the internet doesn't take holidays.

Well, look at the reviews. People are like "do Yahtzee!" Then when he trashes it like every other game, people are like "Why are you so mean to ?"

People will always slam you on both sides.

Me, I'd watch the clip show, it doesn't bother me, but I don't really care that there's nothing, either.

 

[Caliostro]

I'm fairly certain he does this every year...? Why are people surprised again?

 

[Zipa]

It's his week off and has been for a long time . Deal with it

Every other year has still had a video, albeit a clip show.

Even though it's his "week off," there's always content up. People see the gap and are all "OMG OMG OMG OMG!"

"You can still have your vacation, you just need to do double the work the week before."

Are you serious? Do you work? Would you accept an employer that forced you to work an 80 hour week before the week you took off for vacation because they don't want to have to wait for the stuff they leave on your desk? Really?

This is his job, and he only takes one week vacation all year. This reeks of entitlement. Calm down, breathe deep, and find something else to do this Wednesday.

I wonder if we, as a community, can just edit something together, like a series of clips of his funniest moments...hmm...

I'd quote the vast number of posts saying "I thought he was taking the week off", but I feel too lazy so I just want to say:

The reason it strikes me weird that there's a lack of ZP this week is that there's also a lack of Feed Dump and Extra Punctuation/LoadingReadyRun updated extremely late compared to their normal times, while Critical Miss, Jimquisition, The Big Picture, and Unskippable all updated at their normal times.

Fair enough if he took last week off from doing a ZP video, but that's not the only thing that's stuck out as strange this week in my eyes.
